Using Virtual Dub I am trying to join 3 AVI files together They were originally Mpeg 2 files but I extracted them using Winrar and then converted using Any Fideo Converter Now I want to join them together I load first file in VirtualDub and an error message states Couldn't locate decompressor for format XVID unknown and continues to wrire Virtual Dub requires a video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec to compress video Direct Shows Codecs not suitable Advice please JVILB E mail: jvilbth@yahoo.co.uk
It's looking for an installed XviD codec on your PC. You can check to see if VirtualDub has it listed if you click 'Video > 'Compression' http://www.videohelp.com/tools/XviD_Codec Note that for joining AVI files, AviDemux is more flexible and forgiving than VirtualDub.
